Opening in theaters today, April 4, via Metrograph Pictures is Ryan J. Sloan's Gazer, and we're excited to bring you an exclusive clip of the neo-noir thriller to celebrate.
Starring Ariella Mastroianni (who also co-wrote the pic), Marcia Debonis, Renee Gagner, Jack Alberts and Tommy Kang, Gazer is described as a fresh perspective on the legendary paranoia thrillers of the 70s and 80s, and follows:
…a young mother (co-writer Ariella Mastroianni) who, due to a unique condition that progressively affects her perception of time, is trying to save money for her daughter’s future before it’s too late. She takes a risky job from a mysterious woman with a dark past, which leads her to become entangled in a tense web of revenge, deceit, and murder.
As Sloan’s debut feature, Gazer was a real labor of love, shot (on 16mm) on a shoestring budget over weekends in the spring and fall for two years while Sloan worked as an electrician and Mastroianni in film programming in New York.
Check out Gazer in theaters as of today, watch our exclusive clip below, and for more on Gazer, read our exclusive interview with Sloan and Mastroianni right here.
